Well I couldn't get my butt out of bed again this morning so this ended up being a late night run. After going to my son's t-ball game and being barefoot on the grass I decided I wanted to do something faster barefooted at the park near my house. So I did barefoot mile repeats on the grass at the park at 9:30 p.m.
I warmed up 2 miles then did 4x100 meter strides, then 4x1 mile repeats with 1/2 mile jogging recovery inbetween, then 2 miles of cool down. Splits were 5:05, 5:09, 5:06, 5:12. Considering this was my first workout back after the marathon and that they were done on the grass I don't feel bad about this workout at all. I was hoping to do 5 and I might have been able to, but my bowels simply would not allow it. I find that I almost always have bowel issues when I right at night. Overall I was pleased with the workout and pleased to find that my legs have recovered.
